Reveal Map Using the Debug Console

You can reveal the full map by editing the game's .ini file to grant access to the debug console. Find the file at the following default location:

Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5

Edit the config.ini file so that "DebugPanel = 0" is changed to "DebugPanel = 1" and then save.

In-game, you can now press ~ (the key above TAB) to access the console and change settings. Selecting the "reveal all" option will reveal the game map. Most other standard debug functionality does not appear to be available within the game, however.

Alter your game files at your own risk and ALWAYS make backups!

Spying Trick

Instead of randomly selecting a successful looking civilization and sending spies on a whim, look to the intel that is provided more readily. If you check for possible trade routes and notice that you can gain science knowledge through trade, that also means you can send a spy to that civilization and improve yourself using more devious measures. It's a great way to avoid wasting precious resources.
